Relative multi-beneficial effect of MOs on plant health of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L. var. PG-186).

ABSTRACT: The phosphate solubilizing properties of Lysinibacillus macroides ST-30, Pseudomonas pelleroniana N-26, and Bacillus cereus ST-6 were tested for the chickpea crop of the Tarai region of Uttarakhand. These microbially inoculated plants have shown significant (p > 0.05) improvement in the plant health and crop health parameters, viz., root length, shoot length, fresh weight, dry weight, nodule number, nodule fresh weight, nodule dry weight, chlorophyll content, and nitrate reductase. The highest shoot length (46.10 cm) and chlorophyll content (0.57 mg g^-1 fresh weight) were observed in ST-30 at 75 DAS with 20 kg P₂O₅/ha. Similarly, for plant P content, an increase of 90.12% over control was recorded in the same treatment. Tr
